What are the insurance requirements for a Non-Immigrant Type O visa in Thailand and what are some recommended insurance providers?
Hi everyone.
I’m 62yo from Australia trying to get insurance to satisfy requirements for non Immigrant type O visa 90 days I’m getting quotes above 30.000 THB for 90 days only. Is that right ? Can anyone recommend a Thai Insurance company? Thai Consulate in Sydney is asking for a minimum cover of 400.000 THB as in-house Patient and 40.000 THB for out-patient as well as cover for COVID

Answer summary
The user is looking for information on insurance requirements for a Non-Immigrant Type O visa for 90 days, specifically needing coverage of at least 400,000 THB for in-house treatment and 40,000 THB for out-patient treatment. Respondents suggest that while some consulates require this insurance, it is not universally mandatory. They recommend potentially entering Thailand on a visa-exempt basis and converting to a Non-O visa in-country. Several insurance agents and companies, including Arawan Namak and AXA, are suggested as options for obtaining suitable insurance.

With a 60 day tourist, and 30 day extension your travel insurance will cover you ( if you buy). Non-o if for those wanting 365 days not 90

baht last November when I got my Non O from London but that was for an Annual Multi-trip policy. I used a Thai broker/agent though the policy was with a European company. You could try messaging Arawan Namak.I’m sure you’ll find her on Facebook. She usually replies quickly.

Some embassies or consulates will require insurance for a Non O visa although none is actually required. If it’s an issue for you and you qualify for visa exempt entry (as Australians do) then do yourself a favour an enter visa exempt and do an in country conversion to a Non O. You may need the help of an agent to set up your bank account as it’s not easy to do on an exempt entry (but possible) but it saves the hassle of having to have insurance if you don’t need or want it.

@Sebastian ********
you have to show that the money came from overseas if you're going to do that way.Sebastian *********
OP@Stuart ********
I don’t want to do that just yet.For 90 Days non O I only have to show six months savings and 2.000 AUD balance in a Australian bank account.
800K if I decide to apply in Thailand for a 12 months extension

@Sebastian ********
if you are planning on getting an extension to that visa then you need 800k baht in a Thai bank 2 calendar months before you apply for the extension anywayStuart *********
Ok. Then you would have to follow the requirements for the embassy or consulate you’re using. If they require proof insurance then you’d need to provide it.

@Sebastian ********
if based on being over 50 then 800k. If a Thai wife or child then 400k.Activity
